I submitted a review for an atty warning others *not* to use him because he is crooked and incompetent. I even had to file a complaint against him with the State Bar, but Avvo never published that review. In fact, if you bother to search *any* atty review on their site, you will only find *glowing* reviews. What good is the site if it censors reality? Avvo is substandard, IMO. Don't bother using it unless you want to read nothing but sugary goodness. Their atty profiles are not accurate representations of reality. Avvo.com isn’t worth the time.

Since launch, we've added a variety of features to make the site increasingly useful and relevant to consumers (and lawyers, like yourself who may serve as a reference for consumers). You now have my email address, I'd be interested in hearing your stories of how you've used Avvo, or suggestions for features. -Conrad from Avvo Frank – many thanks for the post on Avvo.

Don't have them rely on rating systems which are fraught with misinformation and gamesmanship.
